BlueCat RT is a hybrid, embedded hard real-time Linux operating system from LynuxWorks.

The operating system will be offered as part of a choice of several bundles with tool and service options.

BlueCat RT offers a comprehensive solution for systems that only require real-time functionality in a subset of their applications.

BlueCat RT completes LynuxWorks' product offering, which covers the spectrum of performance requirements and costs for embedded operating systems, establishing a continuum between the major soft real-time BlueCat Linux and the hard real-time LynxOS for systems with complex real-time requirements.

"BlueCat RT supports real-time applications at a fraction of the cost of full, hard real-time operating systems, making it an ideal solution for embedded developers whose applications require a minimal number of real-time tasks", said Greg Rose, director of product management at LynuxWorks.

BlueCat integrates RTLinux/Pro technology licensed from FSMLabs and LynuxWorks' own BlueCat Linux.

This integration delivers ISO9001 quality and full support of the integrated package, providing OEMs with an ideal combination of high performance and affordability for the development of quality, feature-rich products.

The compatibility between LynuxWorks' operating systems enables users to leverage their existing software and technology investments.

The comprehensive toolsets available for BlueCat RT will be compatible with BlueCat and LynxOS, eliminating the learning curve and the need to purchase new tools when migrating between operating systems for differing requirements.

BlueCat RT is now available as part of several bundle options.
